If they love science,they may try to 11        their child to love science too. But 12       if their child's true love is art,or writing,or car repair?

But when they get older,they realize there are other 15       ,Sometimes parents,especially older ones,can't 16       rapid social or technology changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that her parents don't really 17        or value the digital revolu?tion. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to 18        they believe in.
